2. Go to the "Settings" or "Preferences" menu.
3. Look for the "Accounts" or "Mail" section.
4. Click on the "Groups" or "Distribution Lists" tab.
5. Check the settings for the specific group you want to check, such as:
   • Group name
   • Email address
   • Membership list
   • Delivery settings (e.g., whether messages are sent to all members or only to the group owner)
   • Moderation settings (if applicable)

Method 2: Using the Email Server

1. Log in to your email server's web interface (e.g., cPanel, Plesk, Webmail).
2. Look for the "Mail" or "Email" section.
3. Click on the "Groups" or "Distribution Lists" tab.
4. Find the specific group you want to check and click on it.
5. Check the settings for the group, such as:
   • Group name
   • Email address
   • Membership list
   • Delivery settings (e.g., whether messages are sent to all members or only to the group owner)
   • Moderation settings (if applicable)

Method 3: Using the Command Line

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Use the getent command to check the group settings:
   • getent group <group_name> (e.g., getent group mygroup)
   • This will display the group's settings, including the group name, email address, and membership list.
3. Use the mail command to check the group's delivery settings:
   • mail -v -G <group_name> (e.g., mail -v -G mygroup)
   • This will display the group's delivery settings, including whether messages are sent to all members or only to the group owner.
